correct as is TCN navigation & HUD command steering

[vctpil]

Hi,

When I select and activate a TACAN (TCN boxed on HSI), the command steering appears on HUD. But when I select a course (with the CRS switch), the command steering disappear.

Anybody's know if it's a bug or a normal behaviour?

Track and picture attached.

Thanks.

Don`t know. But when you have the course line on the HSI, you really don`t need it in the HUd too. You can see your plane in relation to the course line. It`s enough.

You will see an ARROW in the HUD which directs you to the TACAN via the entered CRS and gives you indication of your orientation relative to the selected CRS as shown in your HSI/SA. When the arrow is lined up with the FPM pointing straight ahead you are heading for the TACAN at the desired course. If the arrow is perpendicular to the FPM it means you need to turn 90 degrees to intercept the course.

Thanks for the explanations. That's why is called 'command steering'.
